Head start Easter Party.

I need some ideas for a head start Easter party. I will have 40 3 & 4 year olds. No outside food or drinks is allowed. So Easter egg hunt, but what to put inside the eggs. How can we make it a little educational? We can do some crafts and games.. But what kind.....

And since you can't bring candy, you could do scroll goodie bags. I make these for Valentine's. I get $1 coloring books and give each child about 5 pages. I roll up the pages and put it into a very small cup (I have a salt shaker that's elongated and I can take apart easily). I then put a ribbon around the papers and tie a bow/curl the ribbon. I include stickers and other goodies from the Dollar Tree :). Coloring is a great way to master fine motor skills :).

As far as inside the eggs, I'd do stickers, coupons (I've been good, take me out for icecream sort of things). Anything like that would be a hit, I'd think anyway :). Pinterest would have more ideas.

If you have a budget, go to michaels - they have craft 'kits' and huge tubs of foam stickers - wait for a sale they are 40% off almost once a month.

Foam stickers on construction paper or on foam sheets they sell (like foam sticker bugs on a foam flower, draw a scene then put foam sticker flowers and bugs on it). They also sell 'kits' like make a bug finger puppet, etc.

Yes! Definitely check Pinterest! I don't know what we ever did without it! LOL

Quoting corrinacs:

Pinterest is going to be the most awesome thing you will meet :).
